PRINCE CHARMING Chloé beams as she relays the love story between her and Scott . Apart for four years , but never out of contact , it felt like the right time for Chloé to follow her heart . “ Scott and I were together when we were younger , but we went our separate ways to pursue our dreams . After my job had finished in Paris , I decided to take some time for myself . We took a trip to Marbella and realised we wanted to be together , so I packed up and followed Scott out to Sydney where he had been living .”
Fast-forward five years , and they live in their own property , which Scott is currently renovating into their dream home with their 18-month-old daughter . They both run successful businesses and are currently planning their wedding for July this year . It seems fairy tales do exist .
A LEAP OF FAITH Following her move to Sydney and feeling like a small fish in a big pond , Chloé recognised it would be more challenging for her to find her way than she initially thought . " It was different cliques and agencies , and I just wasn ' t in the loop . I decided I just had to go for it . I had done it before ; I would do it again . After a few weeks of finding my feet down under , I was successfully offered a place with Sydney ' s top agency ' Dargie Entertainment '. I was still dancing in shows in the city , but after being scouted on Bondi Beach , I ended up going down the modelling path - it was a big deal for me as I had never felt good enough to do something like that ." After working with different labels , Chloé landed a Job with Seafolly Australia and described receiving that job as ' unbelievable and just beyond amazing '.
Having always wanted to teach , she moved on to the next part of her life - teaching ballet and specialising in baby ballet . Whilst she enjoyed what she was doing , she didn ' t feel complete . " As amazing as it was working with two-year-olds , I felt like something was missing . It wasn ' t until I attended a barre class that I realised what wasn ' t being fulfilled ; the desire to work with adults .
" As a professional dancer , I ' ve done every workout under the sun , I ' ve been to every class , and I always felt it was more of a routine rather than something that had a benefit to me , in a physical , mental or even spiritual way . At this barre class , I felt the instructor was invested in her clients and the clients in each other . It didn ' t feel like a typical class where you stand at the back , don ' t talk to anyone , and then leave once it ' s over . I remember thinking , I need to recreate this ." This realisation led Chloé to commit to studying and taking multiple exams before becoming a qualified Barre instructor .
In 2019 , after three years in Sydney together and much deliberation , the couple decided that Jersey would always be the place they called home , so they headed back to the island to resume their journey together .
